City seems 10 have raised a storm of indignation in our State- and justly so?which has swept away the reason of some of our S impulsive prominent people and V . xnado them do and say many fool> islj things. 1 believe the people . of Lake Oily to be fully as good j as the people of Sumter or Dar . lington. i do not think Baker was killed because he was a negro v- and postmaster; for Kingslree, the county seat of Williamsburg, had ! lor several years a negro post mas ter, Cohen Whitehead, who gave , us most- efficient, polite service % and received nothing save kindI. ness at the hands of the entire comunity. However, put the best construc|f?-tion upon it you please, and say that afew drunken men fired the house and then shot their guns at V random into the burning building, and still the fact that such a feai1 ful crime has been committed in i our midst, is the living evidence I> that the people of our once proud jf State are today far below the morjfe ml plane upon which they lived HKm: years ago. It behooves us, Ifvtken, as rational creatures to seek | tp know what has brought us to Rpkis low moral plane?this con P^lMppt of law and disregard of life. C The first apostle of hate who -lactured through this S'ate was ypne Terrell, who claimed that one l cla?s of our people were robbing % another class, and soon arrayed the one against the other. Then Rpibera caught the refrain and play upon the baser passions of more ignorant, cultivated the ^PMowthjef ill will among our peo|p$te. B it,the greatest factor in our moral degradation is the - State's undertaking to sell alchoT'Jrelic liquors to her citizens. (Jti : 4er the guise of restricting and f'i|Jesatniag the use of intoxicants* . | afce1u? steadily poured drink af ^Htfr drink, and gallon after gallon.

Has the State punished one | dispenser for stealing the property plaoed in hia hands? Has not >" the State thrown her shielding c arms around her butchers even / while their hands were red with a brother's blood?

Aivma ?Mt ?v uy ins cuiTSo muives cuinc not only possible, but probable, and I ben ofl'ers a reward for the criminal. Tell me ye men of mental grasp in moral ethics where the greater responsibility lies?whether with the intelligent State official who presses the cause upon another until it leads to crime, or with the ignorant criminal? Let me appeal to the good men of this county to come together as one man and determine that henceforth we will be free trom the infernal institution of liquorselling. We had just succeeded in clearing the county of the last legal liauor shop when the State A ihrust upon us I he sale of liquor through the dispensary. Let us arise in our manhood and remove the dispensary with all its attendant evils. It is not the purpose of those who favor prohibition ot the li quor traffic to organize a faction independent of the regular Demociatic party but to nominate a full ticket for State and county of ficers and to elect them at the wrimarv. Falling in the coming pri raary, they will be orgnized aud in better condition for the next. They are in the struggle to win They must succee 1. It is a strugcle between whiskey and the life of our boys. All others mills make the raw material they work of more value by working it?the Rum Mills of South Carolina make the raw material (boys) utterly worthless. Think of it! Running a dispensary is like feeding your own boys through your cane mill. What is a drunken boy good for? Joel E. Bruxsox. Grand Chief Templar.

Bristow of I he County Record, (Williamsburg) is is within arm's reach of the sav age devils who committed the Lake City outrage last week, but he speakes out like a man in denunciation of the cowaidlv deed. Not so with the editor of the Lake City Times. That journal last week contained no ediloral comments and its news accounts of the lynching was very mild. Editor Clarke, however, can taKe courage from the fact that that class of murders seldom ever attack white men. '?Sumter Freeman.
